The glowing sun softly cast its light over Mossflower as it began to descend below the horizon. The sky turned a beautiful shade of purple, orange, and blue as clouds washed over the sun's light and cast scattered shadows on the forest floor.

The sickening crack of the spine reverberated throughout the woods. Voltan Marlfox dropped the body of his brother, Sahaz, and stared down at the still form, the victorious gleam of triumph shining in his eye. "I told you I'd win, brother. You may be just as much as a Marlfox as I, but you should know better than anybeast never to cross one." Sahaz moaned in agony, rolling over onto his side. He pawed at a dagger buried within the ground, his bloody paws causing the weapon to slip away. Voltan grinned devilishly, placed his footpaw on Sahaz's back, and began to push down. The injured Marlfox let out a shriek that was silenced when Voltan slashed his throat.

The clearing was silent for a moment as Voltan stood still, reveling in his victory. He was the last Marlfox left, and with none of his siblings left to challenge him, he knew there was nobeast that could outwit him. A small chant began behind him amongst his army. "Marlfox! Marlfox! Marlfox!" Voltan screamed and raised his battleaxe in the air, pumping his arm victoriously.

The only strongholds left in Mossflower were Salamandastron and Redwall Abbey. Hardly any trouble for Voltan Marlfox. A decrepit old badger out of his prime and a doddering mouse could not bring his army down. Mossflower belonged to him.
